Aromatherapy treatments are aimed at balancing and reducing sebum productions. Just like traditional anti-acne products oils contain anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and soothing compounds. They are also packed with things like antioxidants and vitamins which are especially healing and protective.

June is national migraine and headache awareness month and a great opportunity for nearly any business!

Take it even further with headache retail packages! From essential oils and diffusers to magic globes (amazing for sinus pressure!) and relaxing eye masks - talk to your clients and see what causes their headaches and recommend an easy at home treatment - the moment they feel relief, they may be hooked!

Peppermint is one of the most popular essential oils used! It is known for treating all types of digestive issues, but its benefits do not end there.

It is fresh, bright, penetrating, and historically can alleviate symptoms of shock. Mentally, it helps alleviate feelings of inferiority and insecurity and can deepen any intuitive insight. Making it a great fit in wellness centers, specifically Reiki healing sessions.

Peppermint is phenomenal when used with a facial steamer. It deeply cleanses and decongests the skin. Because the skin is softened the dead skin cells are easier to remove. It is especially beneficial for acne because of its antiseptic properties.

Pro tip: Purchase a sample felt fabric from a craft store and simply place pieces of felt in front of the steamer nozzle with the oil of your choice to make any steamer an aromatherapy steamer!
